How to boil water using rocks

[Mataji108]

Maybe you could wipe the ash off with the nearby grass first?

[Maper555]

all of his videos the wood acts like clay wtf is up with that?

its always weak and easy to cut? wat?

[10yearvet]

If I may be allowed to elaborate on not taking stones from a stream. It seems unusual but the stones actually soak up the water. When heated it will evaporate faster than the gasses can escape the stone thus causing them to explode in varied strengths or at minimum split. I tried it once just to see what would happen. Staying a good distance from the fire obviously.

How do you "Boil" rocks? Don't you mean heat them?

[richeart333]

I would add to wipe the hot rocks briefly with moist grass to clean them. Also to have a spare piece of bark to cover the top of your water so it all doesn't steam away.

@richeart333

It wouldn't make a noticeable difference in the amount of water you have in the end. As part of a science experiment back in middleschool I boiled water in a pot until there was no more left. It took an EXTREMELY long time. It wasn't even that big of a pot.

[ninjawarrior41]

isn't there a cleaner way to boil the rocks; i mean when you take them out of the ashes and you drop them directly into the water isn't that putting ashes into the water? is that safe?

[gawletap]

@ninjawarrior41 perfectly safe the ash is sterile little bit of ash would not hurt you

[airbusisawesome]

@gawletap Ummm... isn't the burnt stuff in ash a carcinogen? It's why they tell you not to eat burnt marshmallows.

[TheJordan7777]

now this is something interesting and potentially useful. gawletap obviously has a wealth of outdoor knowledge. sorry for my negative comment on the water filter.

[YllwNinja]

the natives here in Canada used to use birch bark, and preferred this method over the European settlers heavy metal pots

[BeccaLaughsAtBecca]

Is some tree bark poisonous? Will it make you sick if you boil water in it?

[dialchemy]

@BeccaLaughsAtBecca Yew is potentialy dangerous NEVER use this to make a cup.

[greenteen85]

how do you find rounded stones not from a stream

[PUMACABRA]

Willow is filled with Salisyllic acid (sp) which is the natural ingredient in asperin. You get a pain killer with that sterile water!

[MrNellie2200]

@PUMACABRA risky with the dose though?

[grimreaperws]

Thank you for sharing ,

[05MagnumSXT]

Great Info. I learned something new today.

[JustinBaker2567]

Amazing, ive always wondered if there was a way to boil water without a man made container.

[sim0b]

@JustinBaker2567 Same here" How the Hell the ancients used to survive is beyond me!

[bassfuryvi]

Seriously good throughout again..from the intro of falling leaves to your relaxed presentation,,another gem..thankyou for sharing..

[bucki58]

Your the coolest guy on youtube!

[DrChrisBiomed]

When you completely remove the bark the branch will ....?

Couldn't hear the last part

[foad1337]

@DrChrisBiomed watch it again :p spoiler: Die

[Diatonic135]

the branch will die, chris.

[jonnyboy9669]

@DrChrisBiomed Die

[Imaroughboy2]

You are a wealth of unappreciated knowledge.

[UcanbeGOD]

You're a badass.

[peder95]
